You're referencing the T-Mobile deal? There is indeed a standard process by which the line level credits are migrated to account level credits so that you can continue to receive them on a monthly basis.

Good luck!

Finally did it!
Migrated sprint to T-Mobile.
Went to Costco, did their BYOD for $300. This will keep extending till end of year ish.
Went to Best Buy, transfer process took some time. You need to have T-Mobile essentials minimum for this deal, we had to switch from Essentials 55+ on the spot but our Best Buy associate was great and handled calling for us. But then he got it working.
The first Best Buy we went to said we'd pay tax based off the original price. This second Best Buy calculated tax off the discounted price.

iPhone 13 mini 256gb original price is $799. Traded in an iPhone X 256gb worth $390.

Costco BYOD Device Sim = +$7.50
Costco Tax = +$0.58
Costco BYOD Shop Card = -$300
Best Buy iPhone 13 mini 256gb = +$409.99
Best Buy tax = +$36.92
Best Buy 5G Sim = +$9.99
Best Buy tax = +$0.88

Net loss = $165.86. Pretty happy with that.

Not true. Buy the iPhone online for store pickup using your trade-in device info during the checkout process. It eliminates 99% of employee involvement in the transaction.

At home: Backup your trade-in device to iCloud. Erase and reset the trade-in device, remove the sim, and have your state ID ready. Print the "ready for pickup" email from Best Buy. Or if you don't want to print the email, use another device that has access to that email electronically that you can take to the store.

At Best Buy: Hand over the trade-in device and ID to the employee at the mobile desk when asked. They will look at the trade-in device for 10 seconds for any damage, and then hand you your new 13. Takes 5-10 minutes at most for the entire process. Then go home.

At home: Pop in your old sim. Power up the phone. Log into home Wi-Fi. Set up your new 13 using your recent iCloud backup. Enjoy your new phone.
